LYNCHBURG, TN-Brown Forman Corp., parent company of Jack Daniel's, reports it will begin construction this fall on a $100-million expansion of its distillery here that dates back to 1866.
The company says it will begin construction soon on its production expansion project that will include additional stills and barrel warehouses at the rural Lynchburg site. The company also will build a second production building. The expansion project should be completed in the next two years, according to the Associated Press.
"It's a good time in the whiskey industry, and our future prospects look really good," says Jeff Arnett, master distiller at the distillery. "We don't want to find ourselves without any additional throttle, if we need it. This will basically secure that we've got the ability to give Jack Daniel's to all of those who want Jack Daniel's for years to come." See story in the Rome News Tribune.
